…Original drummer for The Samples Jeep Macnichol (a.k.a. Mr. Anonymous) is ready to drop yet another fresh single called “Level With Me Up”….will be available in may.
This track features a masterful dialogue of machine-gunfire talk-boxing, soaring autotune falsettos, crushing live drum dancehall beat, and orchestral string psychedelia. With the addition of the korg mini-moog and talk box to his arsenal of instruments alongside crushing tribal timpani riffs, Mr. Anonymous journey’s further into the melodic stratosphere with this toe-tapping wall of sound. “Anonymous, mek we jump up and bubble with anonymous mek we jump up and jump around”…is the talkboxing lyric….is the vibe of the song…enjoy!

NEWS BULLETIN from Mr. Anonymous:
Original drummer for The Samples Jeep Macnichol (a.k.a. Mr. Anonymous) is ready to drop another fresh single called “Vibewise”. This track features a psychedelic mix of live steel drums and distant guitar chime over a slamming reggaton bass drum groove. With soaring autotune melodies to the extreme, Anonymous ventures further into the ethereal stratus, like a T-pain track on mushrooms. Visualize relaxing on the beach or in the jungle with a good smoke sipping a fine rum…This is the vibe of “Vibewise”!
“My video director, Pete Coggan from 42 Productions called me a couple months ago saying he was going to Puerto Rico for a few days to hang with some old college buddies” says Anonymous. “Write a tune and lets shoot a video for a couple days!!!”
“So thats what we did. The vibe of this song was a freeflow of ideas spur of the moment. I really wanted to make the sound cinematic and trippy, and I especially wanted to play live steel drum. I also wanted to juxtapose a live jazz “Elvin Jones” drum groove against a static danceclub drum machine beat”…the end result: Vibewise!
“I was TOTALLY inspired by Puerto Rico…Coffee, Rum, Reggaeton music, thick jungle, beautiful beaches, fresh herbs…. We had a blast shooting the video, and I had a blast making the song”. Enough said and stay tuned for the music video and track when it comes out.
